Put a tamale on it! Hubcap Grill’s newest mash-up

Ricky Craig, the man behind Hubcap Grill, has proven in the past that he has a sixth sense when it comes to flavor combinations that might look like a mess on paper but work well in your mouth. He has topped burgers with peanut butter, bacon and grilled bananas; Frito pie; Philly cheesesteak; pimento cheese; and Cheetos, all with great success.

The Dr. Frankenstein of burgers revealed his latest creation, the TamaleBurger, on Wednesday via Twitter. It’s a burger topped with two tamales, queso fresco, cilantro, avocado slices and a spicy mole sauce. It looks intense. TamaleBurgers were available Wednesday night at the Hubcap Grill in the Heights, 1133 W. 19th. It may be back next week, Craig tweets, if “all goes well.”

He also tipped his hand regarding his next mash-up, the MacDaddyBurger, which involves macaroni and cheese.
